v7.3rc [testing] is released!

It’s worth noticing that it’s not possible to combine or benefit from queues that contain different “shapers” with each other. A “shaper” is just a packet scheduler that delays packets to reach a desired speed thus there is no point in stacking two “shapers” on top of each other, quite the opposite.

However, I believe that a simple queue does’t contain a “shaper” so it should be fine to use with Cake. Thus the reference to HFSC is not really applicable in the case of simple queues.

Bottom line, since Cake utilize its own package scheduler, you won’t be able to take advantage of other MT queues that also use a shaper. Unfortunately since the queue types are not documented with reference to the Linux variants, it’s difficult to tell which ones that contain a shaper or not.

I note I am not really active in the mikrotik world an would like to keep accumulating cake results here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/some-quick-comments-on-configuring-cake/152505/1
